An amazing statement, tantamount to claiming tht processor
pipelining is useless.
Your claim is that it is useless process data already in L1,
L2, and non-collisively accessed memory (assuming a good
chipset, or more specifically, a good DMAC), while the I/O
bus is active for a DMA transfer.
This is obviously false... you are trolling. The real Jesus
Monroy Jr. did not troll.
Foo! You are nothing but a charleton!
